Trichotillomania of Eyelashes: An Uncommon Disorder
Journal Title: International Journal of Pediatric Health Care & Advancements (IJPA) - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Trichotillomania is a disorder characterized by the noncosmetic, repetitive pulling of hair from any part of one's body, resulting in noticeable hair loss or alopecia. It is included under anxiety disorders because it shares some obsessive-compulsive features. We report a particular case of a 12-year-old girl with one-year history of secondary enuresis, referred by his urologist for the management of an isolated alopecia of the eyelashes.
